Coalport China Works operated from 1796 to 1926, producing fine bone china
and porcelain, and becoming famous for its craftmanship and decorative
work. As the industry waned, the site became vacant and then used by
various other businesses until it was finally acquired as one of the
Ironbridge Gorge Museums and opened to the public in 1976.
